Title: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: crumbs on June 07, 2013, 07:38:23 PM These boards are great. Bitcoin attracts a fun cross section of people, from hardware geeks & coders to Silk Road dealers to day traders to guys with more money than you can shake a stick at. From all around the world. Pretty much anything Bitcoin-related can be had here. But it's also a place where money changes hands, so there are rules. If you're new here, which is a pretty safe bet since this is the noob jail, you might find some of these rules ... unusual :-\ I've already wasted a bunch of your time, so i won't try for a graceful segway, and just rattle them off. Here we go:
There's plenty more, but i've got 4 more posts to type :D Title: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: MilkyLep on June 07, 2013, 08:37:13 PM :D Great post that certainly gets the wheels spinning. I've seen these sock-puppetry shenanigans elsewhere, but the stakes are much higher here...

Title: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: utarinues on June 07, 2013, 09:31:23 PM I'll save you some time with this protip: More than half of the registered users were created by bots & are lying dormant, waiting ... for your Bitcoinz :D Yep, they're a commodity, to be bought and sold. Why these have value when you can create new yourselves ??? Title: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: crumbs on June 07, 2013, 09:42:33 PM I'll save you some time with this protip: More than half of the registered users were created by bots & are lying dormant, waiting ... for your Bitcoinz :D Yep, they're a commodity, to be bought and sold. Why these have value when you can create new yourselves ??? The short answer is: captcha. Anyone can write a script to automate registration, but solving a captha? Even virgin accounts, with no posts, are valuable in bulk. If the registration date is reasonably old? +1 clout. In these toobz, people judge each other on weird metrics -- acount age, # of posts. BTW, there's an open thread soliciting accounts, so if your post count is high enough, your account is worth money to someone :D Title: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: ctarantello on June 07, 2013, 10:14:29 PM Interesting and useful information.

Title: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: crumbs on June 07, 2013, 11:11:05 PM Thanks for the good posts ;D ;DTitle: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: crumbs on June 07, 2013, 11:28:37 PM Cool thread Nice post count :D :D That's what, a bit less than 1 post/min? :D The limit to shoot for is ~ 5 posts/min, unless you post from tor / multiple IPs. So theoretically, you can get 5x better. ;D Title: Re: Some Quirky Rules You Should Know Post by: Dork. on June 08, 2013, 01:19:48 AM Thanks for the interesting info!
